Morning ice

So many days recently have been marked by high winds. Last Thursday I put my garbage bin out for pickup, but soon brought it back into the garage to wait for this week. The wind kept pushing the bin down the street! And nobody likes to have their garbage strewn all over the street for all the neighbors to see.

Last night the skies were crystal clear and there was no wind, not even a breeze, so it was no surprise to see that the temperature was 31°F when I got up at five and, when it finally grew light, to find ice in the waterfall. It was quite lovely.
